The Ultimate Planner…AN AMAZING Deal!

I don’t know about y’all, but I LOVE planners.  Like, REALLY love them.  I love getting a new planner every year and filling in birthdays, important dates, y’know…all that good stuff.  I’ve been using a MomAgenda for the last few years and absolutely LOVE it.  One of my favorite planners for sure!  Last February, I was introduced to Erin Condren planners by a sweet friend of mine and ohmiword…my heart skipped a beat {or two}.  Pretty sure these are taking over as my new favorite! 

PLN121502

These Life Planners are seriously the ULTIMATE planner and they come in the neatest designs!! 

 

And y’all…she even carries TEACHER PLANNERS!!!  Say what?!?!?  These are simply TO.DIE.FOR!!!! 

TLP01

The Teacher Planners come in a variety of designs, too.  She’s seriously thought of EVERYTHING!!!  There are pages for important info, volunteers, sub notes, birthdays, holidays, special events, absentee logs, checklists, year-at-a-glance planning sheets, monthly calendars, notes, and my favorite…

I KNOW!!!!  Pretty dang fantastical!!!  But y’all…all this organization comes at a cost.  $50 to be exact.  Not that it isn’t worth it…because it TOTALLY is…but that price doesn’t exactly jive with my thrifty ways, especially at the beginning of a new school year.  As much as I love it, I don’t love the price!!  HA!! 

We’re SO very lucky because right now, One Kings Lane is offering an amazing deal on Erin Condren products!!!  {One Kings Lane is kinda like Groupon, Living Social, etc.}  You can buy an Erin Condren e-card {like a gift card} for $25 worth $50 of products!!  SO…you can grab either the personal or teacher planner for a whopping $25!!!!  Now that’s a DEAL!!!!  Don’t wait on this because the deal ends on Monday, 8/15.  Get on it, girls!!  I just purchased mine last night and I CAN’T WAIT to put it to good use!!  I’m torn between the personal and teacher planner, so I can’t decide at all!  However, I have my design picked out and ready to go!!  I’ll get my redemption code on the 18th, so you know I’ll be clicking the “purchase” button bright and early that a.m.!!  When you buy your planner from Erin Condren, you can also enter the promo code WELCOME10 to get $10 more off your purchase and cover shipping costs.

I promise I won’t be posting anything else like this for a while, I just couldn’t resist sharing this deal…especially if you love planners like I do!!!! 

If you sign up to start shopping with One Kings Lane, I’d love for you to add my email address to the referral box {thefirstgradeparade@gmail.com} :) 

Happy shopping!

    This is the absolute cutest planner I have ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing about this offer. I cannot wait until August 18!!! I like to type my plans on the computer, so I opted for the Life Planner. You know, I still have all of my planners from junior high, high school, and college!*!* Crazy but they are like my little journals.
    Thanks again!

    I have used Erin Condren forever! I just got my planner last week and I am so glad I got the teacher planner. Unfortunately, I paid full price, but it is sooooo worth it! Best planners in the world!

    I bought the Life Planner a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it...now I want the Teacher Planner too! I have always created a binder with all of my information, but I think I am going to try out the teacher planner. I just bought the e-card and can't wait until the 18th ;-) Thanks for sharing!

    Oh girlfriend... Don't you know all those bins in my classroom put me in the hole? Now you've got me buying a planner! Love them though. OH MY WORD! How flippin' cute are they? Which do I choose?

    Ok I really think I might go with the teacher planner, because I just can't give up myagenda! I have the same zebra one you have too! I love it and have been using that brand since college.

    What a great deal! I am little confused though... I pay $25 for the gift card now, then on August 18th, I redeem the gift card, and pay $25 again? My brain is fried from a long week....I am probably making this more complicated than I should ;) Thanks for passing along the deal!

    Okay Elizabeth...you totally had me thinking I got fooled!! HA!!! I think I'm a little fried, too :) The gift card is $25 for $50 worth of products. SO...if you buy the $25 gift card, you can get the $50 planner for $25...the price you already paid for the gift card :) Does that make sense?!?! Eeks!! I'm a little excited!! HA!!!

    I must be really fried because I can't find anywhere that says that the gift card can be used for $50.
    please explain,

    I got both of these this summer and am in love with Erin Condren! I posted about it a couple weeks ago here http://livinglargeinfirst.blogspot.com/2011/07/lesson-plan-book.html
    The teacher planner has let me get organized and brain storm about school since early July! Love it!

    I discovered Erin Condren a couple of years ago and have been using her life planner ever since! I LOVE it and it is worth the money! Thanks for the heads up on the great deal! I have been thinking about getting the teacher planner!

    Great! Thanks! Quick question...I LOVE your printables!!! Being a first time teacher, I would love to use some of them this year.....but, when I try to print some, not all of the words show up. I totally understand if they're copyright, just thought I'd ask! If they're not, is there a way to tweak them to fit my class on google docs? Thanks!! I love your blog!!!

    Thank you so much for sharing this deal! I just bought the gift card and I cannot wait to order my planner. I am obsessed with planners as well and I always get so excited when I find the perfect one! I am a first year teacher and I am thinking that the teacher planner will be the perfect way for me to stay organized.

    I absolutely love these planners. I ordered a teacher's planner and a life planner (not sure why I ordered both), but I am obsessed with ErinCondren.com. I just wish I knew of her site BEFORE my wedding as her wedding planners could have been a life saver!

    So glad you were able to get this planner and it looks like you got lots of people to buy under your name to get more credits to OKL!! I ended up getting $200 in credits translating to $400 in Erin Condren Products. I bought Christmas presents, birthday presents, a lots of fun things for me!! It seemed to good to be true considering that I didn't buy anything from OKL. But my order went through and should be here on the 10th!!
